Tôi chưa từng biết ai phải khổ sở vì làm việc nhiều quá. Chỉ có rất nhiều người khổ sở vì có tham vọng nhiều quá mà lại không có đủ hành động.

DANCE HALL QUEEN-BEENIE MAN & CHEVELLE FRANKLIN
Chorus: She's the dancehall queen for life
Gonna explode like dynamite
And she's moving out of sight
And she gwan mash up the place like dynamite
Open your window and take a deep sigh
Think about letting the rest of the world go fly a kite
Takin' it easy is easy as pie
And holdin' your hand is such a natural high
You sent flowers, we spent hours
I courted a man from the Lancs Fusiliers
He gave me his heart and so I loved him dear
For he took me a-courting and he taught me to dance
Then he marched with the infantry over to France
He told me to wait he'd be back in a year
Now seventeen months I have wished he were here
When I was a young me and my mama had beef
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool
with the big boys, breakin all the rules
Let me tell you bout a girl I know
She my woman and she lives next door
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in an old tin cup
That's why I know
Dòng người đã cuốn em trôi theo dòng đời
Trôi đi mã biết đâu bến dừng
Chẳng kịp nói với nhau những lời yêu thương
Đã vội xa, chất ngất trong tôi lo âu
Còn đây những ưu tư em tôi một mình
Bao sóng gió bon chen với đời
If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken,
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken.
If you're a fantasy
I love the dead before they're cold
They're bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn.
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn.
You've become a memory I can't live without.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.
[Chorus]
I cant wait for this to end
and leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
and sleeping the night in silence
and this letdown falls along with me
